The book store on the rim of the canyon has a book on people killed in the canyon. It is a dangerous place if one is not careful.

We visited Yosemite a few years back, just a couple of days after three people were killed in a horrific tragedy. A young women ventured out into the stream to get a better picture. She slipped, and two men perished when they tried to save her.

That was a year when the waterfalls were gushing from the previous winter's record snowpack. The water wasn't more than knee deep, but the current was strong and the footing was treacherous.

The book is called Over the Edge-Death in the Grand Canyon. I was right in the middle of reading it when I saw this story. Lots and lots of falls at the canyon. The book is available from Amazon.
